It’s the New Year! It’s so hard to believe another year has flown by. But it has and here we are, making our lists of what we are going to achieve and what we are going to leave behind. This is the time where we prioritize our health and happiness at the top of the list. “This year I’m going to quit smoking”, “This year I’m going to get in shape and lose weight”, “This year I’m going to take really good care of myself”. We’ve all done it. But that ambition and that drive seems to last for approximately two weeks, if that, and our goals start sliding and we start slipping. Suddenly it is January 30^th and we end up making our old excuses once again.

About ten years ago, I moved here from lovely and perfect San Diego.   It was early March and only a few short months later, I learned, without insurance, that I was allergic to every single thing that grew here.   Each spring for the next three years, I would end up in the hospital because it set off such severe allergic asthma.   I didn’t know I was allergic to anything.   I ended up having to be on Advair, Singulair, and a fast acting inhaler.   I also had to start taking allergy medicine in late winter to build it up for spring.   I absolutely hated taking anything mainly out of laziness and the rebellion of having to take something at all, so I wasn’t always consistent.   This was miserable and expensive!   Needless to say I dreaded spring.

When women come into my office wanting to get pregnant, I ask them two easy questions: On what day do you ovulate and how long are your cycles. It amazes me that most women do not even know how long their cycles are! Well, I tell them, we should probably figure that out. One great and easy way to see what and how your body is doing each cycle is to chart them. (If you need a chart, I have one under the “Women's Tab” and then under “Resources” as a PDF file.) To get a pretty good idea of what your cycles are like, I would recommend charting for at least three cycles.
